Background color won't go all the way down?

[plarsen111]

I have set pretty much my whole page in a container.

When I code the container to have background-color: black; it stops at the tabs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

if you want your whole background to be black, why don't you style the body instead?

<style type="text/css">

body
{
    background-color: #000;
}

</style>

Because if I do that, everything will be black. I just want the container to be black, and the rest (especially the sides) to be white.

Almost Bob, you are a genius. Where did you learn all this stuff?

What, exactly, does clear both do? It cleared two of what?

It just clear above divs...

for ex your middle container have two divs one is float:left and other is float:right and then u r calling ur footer in single div so it just clear the above two divs for u....
u can also learn it form http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_clear.asp here...:icon_eek:
